Will of chaos

Pov Natasha:

I entered Zenos’ room through the window when I felt a surge of power that I know coming from there, that’s when I saw the brat floating over his bed while his hand was on Zenos’ head.

“Why did you put him to sleep?” (I) 𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

“I’m more sensitive to emotions than you are, I felt a surge of negative emotions and came to check it out.” (Caitlyn)

“…” (Elizabeth)

I look across the room where I see Elizabeth with a book in her hand as she is leaning against the wall flipping through the book.

But there was something strange, I could tell by the look in her eyes, so I walked over and she closed the book.

“What’s in the book?” (I)

“Just a story of legends.” (Elizabeth)

“…” (I)

I try to pick it up and she lets it, so I look at the cover of the book written in a language I’ve never seen before, I try to leaf through the book, but all the pages were written in the same language, plus the images in the book were blurred making it impossible discern anything.

“I don’t know that language…” (I)

“Let me see.” (Caitlyn)

I throw the book at Caitlyn while still looking at Elizabeth who looks indifferent, I saw the way her eyes were moving before, she was reading this book which means she knows this language.

“(It must be a language lost before my birth, which means it’s very old.)” (I)

“What are you hiding Sister?” (Caitlyn)

“I hide nothing, but certain secrets are not mine to reveal.” (Elizabeth)

Elizabeth starts to swim towards the door and I sense her mood was somber as she looked one last time at Zenos before walking away, her eyes seemed to hold over a thousand words before she left the room without hesitating for more than 1 second.

“How is he?” (I)

“He’s fine, it was just an emotional spike, his mind is still tired because of me, so I wanted him to take the day off.” (Caitlyn)

I look at the sleeping Zenos, then I look at Caitlyn.

“Don’t worry I said, he’s only going to sleep for a few hours before he wakes up from a wonderful dream.” (Caitlyn)

————–

Pov Zenos:

I don’t really know what happened, but when I woke up it was late afternoon, I was feeling great because of the dream I had.

I was reliving memories of when I was still building that hut in the Forest of Blood where I was born, back then it was just me, érica, Diana, and Kira.

Everything was simpler, the world still didn’t seem as insane as it does now, I didn’t know about religious fights, I didn’t have the fate of thousands of people on my back and I didn’t have to worry if a hypocritical God was angry with my family.

Sigh

“So I fell asleep reading this book… how can they call this a children’s book!?” (I)

The story of this book even catches my attention, but this is clearly a story of tragedy.

I get up and return that book to the bookshelf in my room before doing some stretches with my body.

—————-

After getting something to eat and taking a relaxing bath, I went to charm my sisters, they were all together in the room talking in a language I didn’t understand, but when I entered they all looked at me while they went back to speaking in the common language.

“How it feels?” (Caitlyn)

“Great, I think tomorrow I can finish some things more easily.” (I)

“I hope you’re talking about your city, you should be ashamed of yourself leaving everything in someone else’s hands all the time.” (Elizabeth)

“I always choose the most competent person for the task and I am not competent leading a city.” (I)

“Then I should learn…” (Elizabeth)

“Stop talking, I’m getting tired of these stupid arguments.” (Natasha)

“Me too, I came here to talk about more important things.” (I)

“What can be more important than a nation of thousands of people?” (Elizabeth)

“Thousands of people happy and living comfortably, who by the way don’t need my interference in administrative matters.” (I)

“What do you want, Zenos?” (Caitlyn)

I change my expression remembering what Elizabeth and Natasha said about Caitlyn’s past, I also remember a little about each other’s past, but in the end, I still know almost nothing about my own sisters.

I sit in the living room with them as I get everyone some strong drinks.

“I want to know more about all of you, I still know little about my own family and I don’t know if I can believe the things I hear from other people, there seems to be a lot of incorrect rumours, rumors, and legends in this information.” (I)

“I can understand what you’re thinking, but our lives are too long and eventful for us to talk about it that way.” (Elizabeth)

“We don’t need to tell you everything, we just talk a little about ourselves, what he’s asking is pretty normal.” (Caitlyn)

“What you want to know?” (Natasha)

“…” (I)

I think a little to know what I’m going to ask, as they said, I know little about them, but I think the best thing would be to start at the beginning.

“Why don’t you tell me a little bit about your origins, preferably briefly or we won’t leave here today.” (I)

“I think it makes sense, in fact, we already know a lot about you, our mother spoke to all of us.” (Elizabeth)

“But we don’t have much to say, I was born to our mother in a more traditional way.” (Elizabeth)

“Who was your father?” (I)

“I didn’t have one from the beginning, our mother used her power over lineage, life and death to create me in her womb.” (Elizabeth)

“When I was born I already had a lot of knowledge and power contained in my body, it also only took me a few hours to reach my adult appearance.” (Elizabeth)

“Wait!? You were born directly from the Goddess Selene?” (I)

“Yeah, don’t look at me like that, we all share the same mother so don’t look too shocked.” (Elizabeth)

“…” (I)

I was not shocked that she was the daughter of the Goddess, as she said we are all brothers, what shocked me was knowing that she came from a pregnancy of the Goddess while I was generated in a pool of blood in some forest.

Even the way we are born is already such a difference, so I look at Natasha and Caitlyn wondering how they were born.
